Hat tip: PG
Nikita’s latest WordPress blog entry is chock full of fail.
Then the faceless faggot from New York goes and steals Lake Fossil Press dot net (I almost got this one but the server wouldn’t let me in at the right time. I used these guys in the early 2000s when they were a free site provider) then they grabbed dot.info, so I got dot org. I am in the process of creating all the graphics then uploading them up to the server. Forgive me if the visitors get pop-ups for going to the host — that is the only thing that sucks about them, but I get to have 15 websites on the one server.
He’s rewriting history there. He previously claimed that his bank wouldn’t cover the overdraft on his account when he tried to register a LakeFossilPress domain, and by the time he talked them into it, the .net and .info versions were not available. I’m inclined to believe that explanation, versus his current claim of some server not letting him login.
As for the annoying pop-up ads his host serves, which I first mentioned on this very blog, Nicky acknowledges that they’re annoying, but is willing to overlook that, so he can have 15 annoying domains hosted by this company — assuming he’s got the money to register and pay for that many. Woo-hoo! Fifteen is better than one, right? Not in this case, Nickypoo, especially if you’re paying to rent an entire server from this company.
I guess this goes into that Media Blackout that one suggested on a board, basically strangling every chance I have to getting a legit readership. It seems they wish to blackball me for good, and I say HorrorWorld.org is sort of leading the charge of that when they figured out I was swiping at the whole industry for their sandbox politics.
Whatever gave him the idea that Nanci’s holding him down? As far as I know, she has (wants?) nothing to do with him.
Someone once told me if I take this to the media, I guess everyone will listen to what I say then.
That person was wrong. Peaches has been trying that approach for years, and let’s face it, “the media” doesn’t give a rat’s patootie about his story — or him.
I am thinking Leider got a pirated copy of the book, and this is something that makes me want to take a trip to New York and kick the shit out of him. Even then he might be screaming hate crime and hide behind his religion. Well it’s true he said many duragotory things towards Italians when he was commenting on my article where I made this statement. He might has well have a Nazi Symbol cut into his forehead and march around Germany like he was one of the Hilter Youth in the present times.
Because the Jewish population of NYC is famous for being Charlie Manson doppelgangers. Peaches, if you’re going to prove Godwin’s Law every time you set your pudgy fingers to a keyboard, at least learn how to spell Hitler properly.
So you say I am the one bullying people . . .
The evidence you’ve left over the years — emails, PMs, comments on blogs and forums for people, harassing late night phone calls, etc. — does point to that conclusion, Nicky. If you want people to come to another conclusion, then stop doing that sort of thing.
The rest of it’s tl;dr, but in skimming it, I gathered that he’s spun his rolodex back to Tim, and Karen’s next on his list.
>Well it’s true he said many duragotory things towards Italians when he was commenting on my article where I made this statement. He might has well have a Nazi Symbol cut into his forehead.
Yeah. It’s not as if the Italians were on the same side as the Nazis or anything… oh wait…
Well, our favorite Italian meatball could lay claim to being a Swedish meatball. But, a meatball’s a meatball.
Actually Rusty he takes a couple of swipes at Karen within this post as well. You probably just missed it due to eye glazing boredom 😉
In the Trading Post section of Shocklines:
http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16396/t/interested–trading–copy—s-Eventual—two-copies-keeping.html
It’s nice how every thread is all about him.
http://shocklinesforum.yuku.com/topic/16389/t/Signings.html
LMAO! Oh man, that’s priceless. I’ll bet that canned cheese and cheap, watery beer would be prominent items at one of his “parties”. Nicky’s so cute when he fantasizes about being a grownup.
Yep… he’s back on the mental Rolodex and off his meds, which is no surprise because the little putz can’t actually use his brain for anything anyway.
Oh, and remember that mass email he sent out? After Tim and a few others joked about it “Reply all” he sent a message to me thinking I was Tim Leider.
I’m not sure from his entry whether he also thinks Angry is Tim. He keeps going on about being faceless, and from New York. I suppose it’s possible he made the mental leap from Angry to New York to Tim, but as always, his train of thought is hard to follow.
It’s not so much a train as it is one of those little hand cars you see on the tracks in old movies and cartoons.
I tought I taw a puddycat
I was looking for the Wile E. Coyote version, but Sylvester’s just as hapless.

Nicky edited Mike’s comment on that entry.
“Mike “I fuck goats” Brendan
Greetings I am Mike “Shit for brains” Brendan and I like to discredit authors who are not mass market or piss on the small press, I like to piss on the memory of a friend of the owner of this blog and run with the fake ownship of Lake Fossil Press. I don’t acknowledge certain small press and semi-professional markets. I, the asshole who picks on the disabled and defame them like I have a bug up my ass,sent to a big magazine and now let’s see if they take it. Now let’s see if they take it.”
Magic 8-ball says Nicky has rejection in his future.
What I had before his edit was:
“You need to have basic proficiency in English in order to call yourself a writer.”
Methinks he’s a wee bit of a cry baby, whose writing skills drop even further when he gets mad, as made evident by his last little belch in that edit.
Here’s the original.
Nicky’s edited version.
I wonder if the doofus realizes that by commenting on my responses that he’s edited into either oblivion or obscurity, anyone who chances on the blog will think he’s arguing with himself.
By the way, time for another screen shot. Let’s see how rabid he gets.
Done. Here’s his second edit.
Unfortunately, my response was instakilled or locked behind the screen for “moderation,” so here’s what I said:
I have one publishing credit, yes, but it’s a for a professional market, which is more than what you’ll ever have. You’ve been appearing in ezines and sub-pro markets that have little readership or distribution, and I doubt you’ve seen repeat performances when editors wise up to your lack of skill or manners.
You say know about me being an “inner geek?” Well I guess I should applaud your detective skills — wait never mind I say as much on my blog, so it’s fairly obvious. As as for that desk job? That’s what helped me buy a house, a car, my role-playing game collection, all the toy soldiers that I’ve painted over the years and the several hundred books I have on shelves all through the house.
It doesn’t bother me at the least that you claim to be a peer for two simple reasons:
1) Not everybody reacts to things in the same manner that you do, Sparky.
2) You’re not a peer.
Definition #2 of “peer” is what you’re striving for — here’s the link: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/peer
We are not equal in abilities, that much is proven every time you blog. In terms of physical abilities I bet I out pace you there as well (the day job pays for a nice gym-membership). As qualifications go, well, you have none, seeing as you dropped out of college, washed out of Basic Training in the Navy and can’t hold down a job. And again, your failure to command the English language is highly inferior. Background and social status are different as well — in addition to what I’ve pointed out previously, you leech off of disability, and you haven’t done the paperwork for your “press” because you know that would reduce or eliminate the disability check.
So, no… we’re not peers, not by a long shot.
Drop the act, Sparky. You’re not “biding your time” for a larger magazine. They’ll reject because you can’t write a coherent sentence, let alone a story with a character, plot, setting or description. None of us cost you your deal with Sinister Tales — you wrecked that with your lack of skill and that “rude and crass” attitude that you take pride in (your words, not mine).
I have never contacted any of the markets you submitted to — prove that I have.
No, Nikki, the only person responsible for you bottoming out of the markets and getting kicked off of sites like DarkWriters on Ning is the person you see every time you look in a mirror.
They’ll also refuse to print him the first time he throws a huge hissy fit more suitable to a 2 year old throwing a tantrum when they try to fix his dozens of spelling and grammar errors in his stories.
http://twitpic.com/2w2p2s
Darn. I was expecting a puffer fish.
It’s a fugu.
Nicky’s given his comments a third edit.
I find it absolutely hilarious that he’s deleting my comments and editing his one response in a way that’s making it more and more incoherent.
Does anyone know what he’s talking about when he says he “invaded Clive Barker’s website”? That was before my time, I think. Does he just mean that he posted a story in a forum or something?
Good question. Whatever he did there was before I ever encountered him.
He probably left some form of verbal gonorrhea in a comment field somewhere.
The media is never going to care about Nicky’s bitching that everyone’s out to get him.
In the very unlikely event that someone in the media or press, whoever it would be, would actually give Nicky some free coverage, he would pretty much shoot himself in the foot right off the bat. First of all, almost nobody would understand what the hell Nicky’s going on about, even if he’s deluded enough to think every single person alive today knows who he is, what he does, and exactly how many enemies he’s made on the internet.
Oh, and do you want to see people turn on Nicky really quick? Watch him try to justify sitting in his basement collecting disability and playing on the computer all day and night, especially if he starts attacking other writers who can make a living with their stories, or those (like me) who actually work 40 hours a week.
I’ll betcha there’ll be a lot of ranting by those angered by Nicky’s life, and a lot of them will start with variations of “My tax dollars go to support this imbecile?!”
All it would take is one of the ‘bullies’ showing the media that contacted them about Nicky some of the e-mails he sends them or some of the taped phone calls with death threats for them to stop caring about what he has to say.
I’ve been curious about the Clive Barker thing as well. I’ve also noticed he has mentioned on several occasions that he was blamed for Columbine. Is there any validity to this or does he just say that to seem “controversial”?
Basically, the Columbine kids were tagged by the media as possibly being Goth, because they liked to dress in black. Nicky likes black, and pretends to be Goth, even though most of the pictures he takes of himself show him wearing green hoodies, high top sneakers, plaid flannel, and blue denim. In fact, the average big city female white collar worker in Corporate America probably wears more black clothing than Nickypoo.
As far as I know, nobody’s ever blamed the Columbine school shootings on Nicky. But Nicky takes everything as being all about him, so when the press mentioned that the kids responsible might be part of the Goth subculture, he took it as a personal accusation.
He also tries to make 9/11 about him too by pretending he was almost on one of the flights that day.
@ Melany: As if anyone would ever believe that Nicky routinely flies out of Boston, Newark, and DC . . .
Hahahahahaha!
He made another edit, this time bragging about how he can edit things to discredit commentors as trolls. Too bad he doesn’t realize it only discredits him.
Hmmm. He seems to be crushing on me again. Anyone know what he hallucinates that I did this time, after, what, years — that all of a sudden out of nowhere, he’s bringing me up again?
Is it because I’m dating Keene? :p
I don’t think he even noticed that. It looks like he’s been flipping the mental Rolodex hoping to spark some sort of conflict to justify his existence.
It’s been close to six years now since you made that post on my old ezboard that sent him through the roof. Andreas moved the comments from him to our dead spot so they were never seen except by me and my mods. Then he banned him.
Mary–you wrote something that was good enough to get published and praised. That fills Peaches with anger.
What Nikki knows about computers can be inscribed on the head of a pin and still have enough room for the Heavenly Host to have a hoe-down.
FB update regarding computers.
Trying to find a current version of outlook express. Like my mother and sister, I also employ AT&T.net. I don’t have a fancy username with this account but I use it for some submissions that I’m looking to do for writers who write on FictionPress.com exclusively and then donate some of the royalties to Children of the Night.org They reach out to under age hookers which also fall in the umbrella of runaways.
Justin W. Outlook Express is now Windows Mail, built into Windows Vista and 7. But Mozilla Thunderbird is nice.
Peaches I have Vista operating on a dial up via my home phone carrier, netzero and AOL. I upload the magazine II publish on a library computer because I can show the staff in real time to get it uploaded. I will have an issue up in a matter of seconds, and I ant to handle direct e-mail to the contributors and I use full justify on the Outlook Express deal.
Justin W Dial-up STILL?
Peaches I am talking to my cousin to have me back on broadband. Right now my budget is beer tastes but on a cola budget. When I move up to Jolliet, Illinois, I will have DSL.
Curtis C Could you use Eudora or Mozilla Thunderbird in a pinch?
Peaches I think I used Eudora — what I want to do with the text when I e-mail someone is to make it appear like it’s in a book or magazine. Fully Justification.
I doubt he’s moving to Joliet any time soon… or moving to DSL…
Wait a minute “beer taste but on a cola budget.” He keeps saying he’s a non-drinker. What does he do? Save his pennies in a jar to get beer?
Maybe he doesn’t realize there are brands of
beerswill out there that cost about the same as Coke or Pepsi, or for that matter, less than those “energy drinks” he claims to love so much.There are even decent beers that cost about as much as soda. I can get a case of Yuengling (a personal fave of mine) for a little over $20.
Breaking his ATT.net e-mail account in. It employs Yahoo.com’s portal but the side panel is far different than yahoo.com because it has an out box. Just trying to track down outlook express because that was the e-mail program I was using from 2000-2005.
Sent one of my cyberhorror yarns to a professional science fiction publication, the story like the twin stories in the 12th Issue relies on the science of computers for the effect of the dark storytelling of this one. Cross your fingers that I get the publication because it dwarfs anything I sold to magazines or to a genre pay-per-download site.
Talking about baseball.
:laughing: I wonder if you have Ray cap now. I wish The Sox made it but getting second place in the division is a good call though. The Rays are a young team with a history to write for themselves. Much as The Rockies of Colorado and the Diamondbacks of Arizona. The latter three are also expansion teams too. The Rays might be the youngest of them. The Rockies emerged when I was still in high school and everyone in school had a black and purple pullover jacket of the Rockies.
Nick is a part time ghost hunter now too.
I am more a ghost guy myself. I get a lot of my ideas for ghost fiction from watching haunted programs of from my own experience being a ghost hunter on a part time basis. I have seen the movie that inspired a lot of zombie apocalypse films an that is the one written by Richard Matheson as Logan Swanson. That movie is one that has the sickness causing take for a vampire. The scientific Gothic Horror story, The Last Man On Earth.
Good to know the little hunny bunny hasn’t forgotten me. I needed some hearty chuckles this week.
My responses seem to be stuck in his moderation queue. Looks like he’s only letting in anyone who agrees with him, which is typical.
“No one’s trying to “get in your way,” Nick. Your short stories are nowhere near controversial because they could barely pass a fifth-grade English class. Your protagonists are Gary-Stus, there’s no plot, no setting, no action, no reasonable description of anything. There’s nothing to your stories. At all. That’s why you don’t have a “legit” readership.”
I love that he shilled his book when he replied to his friend, it’s just so Nicky.
I don’t she knows the score with King Twerpy. Not that I’m worried. Before too long he’ll out himself as an ass.
Who’s he talking about this time?
Rusty, I think he’s talking about me and the reviews I posted of some of his books. I think it might be time to post another… if I could just find some free time.
Took a little wander over to his friend’s blog where Nicky had left this little crumb on her poem about bullying.
“My whole writing career I’ve been on the receiving end of a good number of cyberbullying. One troll is trying to say he “owns” my publishing imprint and trying to make a mockery of my projects using porno photos as the said covers. He even tried to steal my pen name from me for quotes on the trolls books. I have an article that talks about cyberbullying and my book, An Eye In Shadows, deals with the subject head on and in a very dark way of doing it. I’ve been bullied by Ray Garton repeatedly and threatened to have me locked in a loony bin for a good long time. That came to a head where I incited him to get into a fist fight with me to end the rivalry once and for all. He gets his rocks off on writing Buffy The Vampire Slayer novels. My blog has a bunch of articles that deal with the subject first hand.”
http://www.janetcaldwell.com/cloud-dancer/
I think he meant “invited,” not “incited.” Huge difference. HUGE.
More FB chuckles from La Phlegm Nikita:
Not sure what he means by “This is for those…” He doesn’t provide a link or anything.
Wonder how many are trolls and how many are random wannabe writers who know nothing about him at all.
Nikki’s knowledge of wrestling matches his knowledge of computers, writing… And pretty much anything.
Jenny I believe, she posted some reviews on Authorsden and he responded pretty much as you’d expect him to.
Someone alluded to it earlier, but when one of Nicky’s FB friends announced a book signing, and made a “buy my new book, get a copy of my old book” offer, Nicky began by trying to horn in on the tour:
The guy makes a polite, non-committal reply, and lets Nicky know where to buy the book since he “wants it in the worst way.” Nicky replies by offering to trade him one of his own books:
Typical Nicky, always trying to cadge something for free off someone. It would never occur to him that someone might not want him tagging along. He seems to realize that the guy might not want to just give him a book, but he doesn’t seem to realize the guy’s probably not interested in a trade, either.
He’s so self centered… Heck he’s narcissistic. He thinks everyone reacts in the exac same manner as he does.
Melissa’s reply to a question posed by Mr. Pack over on that rightly conservative page:
“Absolutely! Just email me. I’ll delete him. Pacione is a good guy ……. he’s very passionate. But it just needs to stay off of HERE. I told him, already, so he’ll know WHY if he’s deleted. Thank you for understanding. : )”
Hahahahaha! Nicky!fail…again.
OK, I really need to go home. It’s just after 11:00 p.m. my time, and my brain can no longer focus on the work I’m trying to get done yet tonight. And things that shouldn’t be funny – like Nicky proving once again that he can’t socialize to save his life – seem funny. *sigh* Too much work, not enough play.
Do you think that his sending threatening emails to everyone who leaves a negative review of his books on Amazon is a good enough reason for Amazon to remove the listings for the books completely?
New game… There’s a 5star review of Collectives on Amazon by some guy called Terry Vinson (who happens to have Nicky listed as a friend by some strange coincidence). The review ends with the phrase “What more can a fan of mythos ask for?”
http://www.amazon.com/review/R1H082WMHED776/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=1594577706&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=
Two people have already made suggestions. It would be fun to see how many we could put up there without repeating
I believe that Terry has submitted to Nikki in the past, either Collectives or in a T.P.
http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?authorid=8374 Nikki lists Terry as a contributing author.
Terry has also left his ‘glowing’ comments on Nikki’s posted work over on authorsden.
This is from ‘The Statue’
“Reviewed by Terry Vinson 5/1/2004
Nick,
I could almost visualize ol’ Rod himself narrating this tale. Like you, the man and his shows (including selected episodes of ‘Night Gallery’) paved the way for my imaginary jaunts into the world of fiction writing. Great story….
Terry
That’s Terry Lloyd Vinson, one of Nicky’s favorite contributors. He’s had stories in a lot of Nicky’s “publications.”
The guy’s either a willfully clueless hack, or he just doesn’t give a rat’s patootie about having his name so closely associated with Nickypoo’s.
Of course, Terry could visualize Rod doing the narration — it’s because Nikki rips off Serling’s TV act and puts himself as Serling into the prose all through that piece of drek.
Nikita the banana FB sayz:
“trying to find someone who’d be willing to design the blue ribbon (this is a symbol of freedom of speech, but there should be responsiblity that comes with that freedom.)”
Commenting on another ‘friends’ post regarding going to Crystal Lake IL. Guess where this goes.
“I often see people joke about Crystal Lake, Illinois, having a killer like Jason Vorhees stalking around. My ex-room mate went on a spending spree for DVDs a week before Halloween in 2006. One of the DVDs she grabbed up was the original Friday The 13th. Most of the horror films I get into are inspired by short stories or novels, usually the ghost stories are the ones I am drawn the most into.”
” I am doing a horror anthology for just the writers of FictionPress.com — since they get really ignored by the industry. I give these writers first pickings in my anthologies because of that. Mary Sangiovanni wanted my blood for this but I got the last laugh on her when I wrote An Eye In Shadows.”
Do’h missed this one.
From the fanfiction page on facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Fanfictionnet/49001984197
Peaches ->Fanfiction.net: How many people on here can actually find loopholes in some fandoms to be completely original with what they do for the delivery. Masters Of Horror will have this loophole because a lot of the horror writers inspired other horror writers. The story The Damned Thing is a public domain by an author who disappeared.
Responsibility: the one thing Peaches has made a career of avoiding.
Great, now we’re going to see 2 months worth the Jason Vorhees fanfiction with the serial numbers filed off from him.
I think we’re safe since Jason mostly goes after promiscuous young teens, which means Nicky would need to write something about sex! Though he probably messed his pants in excitement while watching the infamous sleeping bag kill.
If your talking about the sleeping bag kill in Jason X, I don’t think he saw what I saw.
When that came up, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe. Her little “ow ow ow ow” as he’s beating one sleeping bag with the other, then *WHOMP* against the tree makes me giggle just thinking about it.
Still, he couldn’t write a decent Friday the 13th Fanfic if Pamela Vorhees was giving him a handjob.
That was hilarious, but I was thinking more of the one from 7.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRJWz8QO8ag&feature=related
Though you just know Nicky’s Friday the 13th fanfic would feature an infamous, controversial, conservative, Christian, underground writer who wrote “like Poe if he was sober” sitting in a diner telling people about his ghost hunt at Crystal Lake where an undead serial killer called Jasin was supposed to have slaughtered x amount of teens and put coins on their eyes.
FB follies
“Damn it — my cousin is getting on my nerves. Someonoe tell him to piss off for me. I hate being disturbed when I am trying to write.”
Yet, he takes special pride in being disturbed.
Bitch, bitch bitch. He can’t risk being an asshole toward his cousin to his face, for fear of having his internet taken away.
How much you want to bet that he was asked to take out the garbage, take a shower, or come upstairs and get his food himself instead of someone venturing into the Pac-Cave and bringing it to him like they were Alfred and he was a stupid, fat, and rank hunchbacked version of Batman?
“Nick, come up here and take out the garbage!”
“NO! FUCK YOU! I’M WIRTING!”
Nickster commenting on his whine about his cousin.
“He was doing his happy feet tap dancing bullshit while I would try to write a story. He’d sometimes sneaks into my profile when I have it open and type “poop” in the message box.”
He mistakes “Happy Feet Tap Dancing” for a normal person walking around doing daily things.
Everyone knows Nicky-Boi gets winded crossing his basement lair from his bed, with the sheets that haven’t been changed in a year or more and blankets that have never been washed, to his computer, which you know is just surrounded by old beer and soda can, at least 4 overflowing ashtrays he’s dumped on the floor at least once and ground underfoot.
So the thought of someone moving around normally must seem amazing to him.
He’s probably just jealous of his cousin’s ability to walk fully upright and move around for longer than 30 seconds without running out of breath.
“Someonoe tell him to piss off for me. ”
Yes, why not. A hundred emails from strangers passing on Nick’s good wishes.
Someone please stop me when I have ideas like this. No good can come of it.
Well I got a lovely small email from our Nicky boi, complaining about me “stealing his titles”. Otherwise it’s pretty much the same ol’ BS including the “Get AIDS and die” thing.
Still, I think I’m nudging my way into the ranks or something; I’ve never gotten Nicky-mail before. Should I feel special? 😀
Nicky has a new anthology call out:
http://www.fanfiction.net/~nickolauspacione
Scroll down to the section entitled “An Open Invite: Who Wants To Be Published?”
Aiee, my head hurts just reading that. Though it’s more depressing to think that there might be people so desperate to be “published” that they’ll take Nicky up on his offer.
Anyway once again he rewrites his personal history, now instead of invading Clive Barker’s website he was published there… And I’m the fairy of love and peace, I fly around in my little pink tutu hitting belligerent people over the head with a bloody big mallet until they’re so concussed that they’d throw themselves under the wheels of a lorry to save a poor innocent little hedgehog.
Interesting…he hates fanfic but is now publishing it, and doesn’t say anywhere NO SEX NO SEX NO SEX. So has he changed his tune on that too?
Nobody will buy his stuff either way and who the hell wants a signed copy of a very badly edited book for being his favorite story?
How can you tell when something he adds to that page is new?
@Melany: He’s not looking for fanfic unless it’s written about his own characters. Mostly, I think he just goes there to recruit unsuspecting pigeons.
Peaches @ MotY:
Anyone have a clue what “editing gig” this might be? Who is his or her right mind would ever let Peaches edit anything?
“Joseph Locke is an everlasting pigfucker.” Followed up by “Ray Garton — keep running your mouth because none of your books are selling in the mass market. We will see who will hold out at the end of the day. So I am going to keep badmouthing you from the gitgo. Asshole.”
This was a post from last night:
“Organizing an anthology for writers on both FictionPress.com and FanFiction.net — it will be a full on horror anthology. 3000 up to 8900 then two at 10,000. Trying to make this as big as Tabloid Purposes IV or Issue 12 of the magazine. I am writing the invitation for the writers via e-mail using my AT&T e-mail account.”
I don’t know if that is his new source of unreported income, but he has been leaving lil tidbits on other peoples comments/walls/or whatever.
Peaches -> Andrew B “got a job! yay :]”
congrats man. I might be taking a few editing jobs to finance the purchase of copies of the magazine.
On the National Novel Writing Month link from another user: “I don’t think I can get GAME OVER done in time for this.”
Side note: Hasn’t he been working on this since like May or June?
Penny Dreadful’s interview link:
“I am actually banned from LiveJournal.com because of a video I did on youtube.com putting some of my trolls on the spot. They got angry so they had all my livejournal accounts pulled. I lost the ability to run the Goth Community so it’s under new management.”
Given that Ray’s books are still on Amazon and Nikki’s stuff isn’t, I’d have to say that Ray is outselling King Twerpy by a wide margin.
It’s obvious nicky still doesn’t get nanowrimo…where you start completely from scratch you don’t finish a novel you already started years ago.
It’s obvious he can’t read along with being unable to write.
Melany, at least if he did try to submit to the NaNo, it can be told that his novel wasn’t done in November which disqualifies him I think.
I can imagine the freak he’d throw then though.
I bet I’d hear his girly girl screams all the way in Iowa 😀
I know I won’t finish my nano book for the 3rd year in a row, but all it is right now is random notes and a slightly better idea than last year. :p
Um, I frequently see Ray’s books in Books-a-Million, Hastings, Borders, B&N. I’ve got my eye on a piece of property that would be a good spot for a bookstore, since there isn’t one in this town, and if I do go that route, I will definitely carry and push Ray’s books. He’s a damn good writer.
I have yet to see one of Nicky’s pieces-of-shit in any of those venues, and will never carry them in any bookstore I own. If I ever do have one. Which is a better than even chance, as it stands right now.
LOL Melany. I’m sure I’d hear them all the way up here to New Brunswick.
I have no clue if I’ll finish or not but I know I’ve got enough material to get there. I just fear writer’s block.
Never mind, it’s there… Just with an abysmal sales rank and one negative review…
Out of curiosity I popped over to the Fictionpress Facebook page for writers to see what Nicky’s been yammering on about there. Aside from trying to get them to pay for a copy of Flying Cigars he put out another of his submission calls.
” Hey those of you wanting to get published and well I am going to do a fictionpress.com writers only anthology and will be donating copies of the anthology to the English Dept of my old high school. Since some of you have the world as a stage I am going to go with a horror anthology because this is the one I was most active with over the years. It might be my follow up to N A P Delivers…..A Library Of Unknown Horrors. I am looking for stories between 2000 to 8000 words as a doc format. Single space everything and use the rulers to indent the story after the first paragraph.
I might ask my publisher to loan me one of the artists for this project. The deadline is when filled and it will be published via the lulu.com pair up with AuthorsDen.com. This site is now selling well know works from TOR Books because they got a sweet deal with Ingrams.
Now where to send the stories, send them here np1976@att.net. I published over 200 authors over the years with my publishing inmprint. I am publishing two writers who established themselves originally at FictionPress.com. I will take public domain horror fandom stories too for this one. I am going to invite writers from the horror fanfiction circuit into writing original horror fiction. I want supernatural horror for this. I want to do an anthology that is about the size of Tabloid Purposes IV’s current form. ”
“I have an open tryout for writer who don’t write with any kind of romance or any kind of erotica. I am looking for some fictionpress.com authors to send stories for my magazine, The Ethereal Gazette. The GLS are over here http://ethereal.ulmb.com/. The link to this is right above the issues as they appear in order. … Writers must feel at home in either a roadhouse or a diner late at night. Horror and Science Fiction set in the modern day or a few years into the future. Cyberpunk type science fiction is the most realistic of science fiction genres because they use technology that already exists in the modern day.”
Yeah, because like most of you I regularly use the implant in the back of my neck to jack-in for a jaunt around cyberspace before using my blackmarket cybernetics to fight off the cyborg ninjas KFC send to kill me for stealing their secret recipe.
Ugh. Cyberpunk is so 1994!
I love cyberpunk, and think it’s due for a little life to be breathed back into the genre, but Nicky writing it?
Apparently he thinks computers == cyberpunk
He’s got no clue about dystopian futures, cybernetics, netrunning, VR, or anything else that cyberpunk involves.
Remember how he touted that story of his, the one with the Class SIX! hurricane and the Marine who swam in 100mph+ water, and the woman who swam 5 miles but couldn’t swim the other 100 feet to the magical hummvee?
Yeah, that was his “cyberpunk” story.
I’d love to see someone update the genre. But since it’s so dependent on proposed technology—how what we have at present will be applied in the not-too-distant future—it tends to outdate itself so quickly. As a genre, it has gotten rather kicked to the curb of late, hasn’t it?
FB update as a follow-up to his anti Ray comment:
“#
Melissa Slade: Nick — why do you do this? You badmouth other authors all the time and that is not the way to break into the business. If they are badmouthing you — turn the other way, don’t respond. Why lower yourself to their level? I am so tired of artists of any kind putting down another artist’s work — we are all in the same boat. We all want some type of recognition for what we do — we should support each other and not act like children.
Mark Derosier Thats what I’ve been saying Melissa… On top of that, if you don’t ignore these sorts of problems, they don’t go away. It’s just fuel for the fire…”
Nikki of course, followed up with this: ” Garton should really stop calling me his mother’s pen names.”
And going after Angry again: ” The title for the trolls version of my magazine looks generic. I doubt he has the copyrights to run those so called pictures as their “cover.” I am waiting for the little prick to see the true issues. Likes to spread the lie around about a loan that never existed.”
“Garton should really stop calling me his mother’s pen names.”
What the hell is he on about? Or is it just another pathetic attempt at making a joke, like his doorknob obsession.
That had me scratching my head, Lewis, but I ultimately decided it wasn’t worth my time and effort to try to decipher it.
Well taking into account that Nicky’s mind hasn’t left high school while his body is still struggling through puberty I think it’s safe to infer that he’s attempting to pull the old “I’m afraid, good sir, that I simply do not have the time to discuss your mother” response to an insult, whether real or imagined.
Honestly though I can’t help but hope that it’s something more, that perhaps Mr Garton’s mother actually penned a series of novels about a well educated, urbane, and bisexual French born communist ex-spy, who runs rings around the United States government while foiling the schemes of evil capitalist corporations. And that she did this using Nicky Pacione, or perhaps Lloyd Phillip Campbell as her nom de plume
And the much anticipated followup:
Peaches writes:
Because he kept running his mouth about me and threatend to have me locked away in a mental institution and vowed to harass my family until it’s done. I don’t badmouth everyone, just the ones who really deserve it.
Peaches: “Well Garton picked a fight with me when I was doing my editorials on shoggoth.net, it boiled over to where I got published with Naked Snake Press and to other publishers. Garton kept harassing me via Youtube.com and with the threat he made on Yuku.com. I have a copy of that threat in the inbox. When he threatened to have me locked up in an institution, all bets were off at that point especially when he vowed to harass all 200 cousins here in the states.”
Melissa Slade Again — turn the other way. You are just lowering yourself to their standards. Is that what you really want? The things you say will come back to haunt you — especially when you state them on such a public site as Facebook.
Peaches: “Yeah it gets the better of me when he actually doesn’t have a huge fanbase. If you can see what I have as far as myspace friends as to him. Him 440 me, 2175 (I had more but they were tired of the band spam.) I’ve seen him do this many times over and got sick of it. That was why I brought it over to facebook so he can stare at my picture long and hard to see what it’s telling him. People like him make themselves hard to ignore.”
Myspace friend != fan base
I wonder how many of his “friends” on Myspace (which is a hole) and FB are porn bots, gamebots, spammers, and the like.
And it’s nice to see the so-called “Christian” renounce the word of Christ, who said it was better to turn the other cheek and forgive those who wronged you.
Lowering to their standards? More dumb-ass backward thinking from the pile of genetic failure that is Pacione.
Even after all these years, it floors me every time I see our favorite guttersnipe pretend he’s taking the high road by instigating his usual bullshit against a random victim, and blaming the victim, who hasn’t mentioned his name in years, for starting it.
Nikki’s going Christmas shopping!
“Waiting until after my membership dues are paid and my phone bill are paid next month to do some of my holiday shopping early. First person I am going to hit up in my run of holiday shopping will be Biocarbon 13 — trying to see if I can get a few copies of their phsyical CD releases for my kid sister. No Justin B. for her. She’s getting exposed to the good stuff.”
In other words, he’s going begging.
I agree, Ant. Note that he talks about “hitting up” Biocarbon 13 for multiple CDs. You don’t (have to) do that, if you’re buying the CDs legitimately. He’s nothing but a leech.
Must not have been able to find them anywhere online to pirate…errr….borrow until he gets that hot girlfriend with a little money..for free. 😀
I am trying to introduce her to the heavy metal that’s been around since she was a baby. She might have a taste for heavy metal because I used to blast it when she was just in a playpen. She would jump around listening to Soundgarden.
FB fun!
“Saw Lee Garrett’s artwork — that will be part of the back cover because it’s more like a panorama than a portrait style that I was seeking. Not going to leave this good work go to waste. I am now trying to figure out what the color sceme will be for teh covers and layout.”
” I get called ignorant on VampireFreaks.com by some snotty nosed kid — what’s wrong with being normal? I am an adverage joe who fell into the publishing game by sheer accident, but now I am here as a player in the publishing game. I’ve been around longer than some of these upstarts.”
“In behavior, normal refers to a lack of significant deviation from the average. The phrase “not normal” is often applied in a negative sense (asserting that someone or some situation is improper, sick, etc.)” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_%28behavior%29
I think Princess Nikita perhaps forgot the word “not” when he wrote his FB update.
He’s not average either. Sub-sub-par is a better way to describe him.
My experience has been that sub-par people always think they’re average (Pacione), average people tend to think they’re brilliant (Iron Dave, Dagstine), and people who are genuinely very bright, often forget that most people aren’t as smart as they, yet are well aware there are plenty of people who are much brighter.
I consider myself pretty much average, if a little quirky, and just feel depressed about Nicky’s attempts to join our ranks.
But it is kind of cute that he thinks he has enough influence and leverage to be considered a “player in the publishing game”.
Rumor has it that Brian Keene’s new book for Skullvines Press (to be released sometime next year) will be called TABLOID PURPOSES.
Fire in the hole!
The “must buy” purchase of 2011.
I’m trying to get my hands on a copy of the story called “The First Cut is the Deepest” that Boyer/Byron says was nominated or recommended for a Stoker to see if that is plagiarized, too, but I haven’t found what anthology or book it’s in.
Can anyone help?
Fb follies!
Regarding someone’s tattoo gallery:
“You have a really gruesome sense of humor looking at some of your inkwork. I almost got a few when I was still with the USN but my family made me promise not ot get any just yet. I just don’t want something I will regret many years from now.
Replying to a cousin regarding Sweetest Day:
“cool deal there. These are one of those so called holidays I loath because I am very single.”
“Setting up his photographer profile for Model Mayhem. Has an article on the JPG Magazine website and this was submitted for the print version called “I, Photographer.” Lake Fossil Press always been a vehicle for my photography in some extent.
“Holy crap, The Fandom Writer 2 is actually scarier than the original — damn I didn’t think I can actually do that. The Midnight Diner [the story] is going to be scarier than everything I’ve written over the 9,800 word range. The Fandom Writer 2 is 11,400 words while GAME OVER is going on 33,000.
“Staring at the most recently penned paragraph on The Fandom Writer 2 — trying to figure out where the fuck one can take the story from that point. What will add to the scares in this one? There are about 10 horror nasties in this one, who else written more than one original horror monsters in their stories. Been ye…ars since doing a monster story, so doing these have some strength and attitude going for it.
“Trying to figure out what direction to take the notorious sequel of The Fandom Writer, it’s currently 11,300 words and climbing. I am adding very sinister and extreme dark parts to it. This is going to be very frightening in different areas of the novella — a lot of frights going around. Picture Call of the Cthulhu or The Shunned House haveing roid rage..”
And regarding IMDB:
“I’ve been trying for years to get listed on that site. I got a few connections from Nextcat.com (been with them since 2007. They are handy with getting promotional photos loaded up. I shot all my own promotional photos usiong a self-timer. One of them became the photo on the default page of Writings From The Grave.)
Jason H: I have a Nextcat page as well. IMDb is not for Authors though. It’s for Screenplay Writers, Directors, Special Effects Artists, Acots, Grip, etc. Anything to do with movies. You have to have at least a credit in a valid motion picture to be included.”
Nicky listed on IMDb?
Does he really think his shitty short stories make him worthy of being on there?
I missed these. Want to know what Nickster spends his money on?
“waiting for my authentic Mexican food delivery to arrive. Nearly $20.00 for everything, it better be worth it.
Food came — holy shit nearly $20.00 to order out around here. The place I order from is on first name basis with me. Who else lives in an area that has a place that serves Authentic Mexican and burgers that deliver them to where you live.
Taking advice on how to deal with trolls:
“I had some asswipe 18 year old giving me a lecture about being ignorant, well he’s still is wet behind the ears yet to lecture a 34 year old. He got mad at my statement saying, “I grew up in a time where men were men and women were women. They hardly pulled the gender roles until the band James came out wearing dresses as if they lost a bet.”
Peaches: I am sure you get a kick out of that, I was told the same thing I told this kid when I was 22-23 years old. I really hate when 18-19 year old kids tell me they know more about the world than I do. They call me ignorant and tell me, “Can you just for one day not be a dick?”
Rob Lipper Casper Phoenix Just tell them that your their father and it was a great time with their mother…Then they might shut up and listen…
“The funniest thing I taught the dog how to do and that’s the dog knows how to do a nutshut. She can punch someone in the balls on command. I taught the dog how to do this because Mike’s dog likes to stand up on hind legs and act like a boxer.”
Hate to break it to you Nicky, but there’s an authentic Mexican place in my town that has free delivery, damn good food, and it doesn’t cost me $20 =D
I think the whole point of that update is that he’s trying to brag about having a whopping 20 dollars to spend. He’s prolly saved up his pocket money for weeks to get that kind of cash.
You go, Nicky Girl!
Livin’ la vida loca!
Or maybe broke his piggy bank full of pennies to pay for it? LOL I turned in my change jar last week for extra spending cash and had $35
